Seasick Steve Autumn Dates Announced “It’s A Long, Long Way” Video & 4Play Documentary Short Following a triumphant string of festival appearances this summer, Seasick Steve announces three more UK dates to round out the autumn. Kicking off in London on 8th October, before carrying on to Manchester on 10th October and Glasgow on 11th October, tickets for all of Seasick Steve’s autumn dates are on sale now, and available from www.livenation.com, www.gigsandtours.com, and www.gigsinscotland.com. On August 15th, Seasick Steve released “It’s A Long, Long Way” (PIAS), the final single off his Gold + selling album, You Can’t Teach An Old Dog New Tricks -- which incidentally spent three weeks in the UK’s Top Ten debuting at number 6 on release. The studio recording of “It’s A Long, Long Way” features Led Zeppelin’s legendary John Paul Jones on mandolin; and audiences were thrilled when John made several surprise guest appearances with Seasick Steve throughout the summer. As a last fond farewell to the summer festival shows, a video for “It’s A Long, Long Way” (directed by Ben & Jos from Asylum Films) has been put together, consisting of a montage of live performance excerpts. A natural festival sing-along favorite from the outset, footage of “It’s A Long, Long Way” has been culled from the Isle of Wight Festival, the Goldcoast OceanFest, the Larmer Tree Festival, and the Rock Werchter Festival in Belgium as well as the iTunes Festival at the Camden Roundhouse. The directors have also prepared a special 4play documentary short that includes festival footage of Seasick Steve, along with an interview shot backstage at The Cropredy Festival with Grinderman’s Jim Sclavunos posing the questions. The short runs tonight/early tomorrow morning Monday 19th September at about 1.25am on Channel 4. Seasick Steve appears on TV once again this week on the afternoon of Thursday the 22nd Setpember when he is a guest on ITV’s Alan Titchmarsh Show; the show starts at 3pm. And last but not least, Steve has been confirmed for the line-up of this year’s Guinness Arthur's Day Show to be held at The Savoy Theatre in Cork on Thursday 22nd September.
